The changes made in version 1.1.1 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
The main changes since 1.1.0 are:
- do not return STREAM_END prematurely in inflate (John Bowler)
- revert to the zlib 1.0.8 inflate to avoid the gcc 2.8.0 bug (Jeremy Buhler)
- compile with -DFASTEST to get compression code optimized for speed only
- in minigzip, try mmap'ing the input file first (Miguel Albrecht)
- increase size of I/O buffers in minigzip.c and gzio.c (not a big gain
on Sun but significant on HP)
- fix macros _tr_tally_* in deflate.h for debug mode (Glenn Randers-Pehrson)
- remove block truncation heuristic which had very marginal effect for zlib
(smaller lit_bufsize than in gzip 1.2.4) and degraded a little the
compression ratio on some files. This also allows inlining _tr_tally for
matches in deflate_slow.
